Every year our TNSM families donate community parties as a way for us to get to know one another better while at the same time raising important funds for the school. Last year we had 31 different parties offered. Some are for families, some for students and others for just adults.
Parents from The New School Montessori hosted a family party to celebrate The Day of the Dead Festival. Some came in costume, some had their faces painted, and all enjoyed a wonderful Mexican dinner! Before the fire eaters and dancers began, we had a ceremony to remember those who have passed away and the importance they’ve played in the world and in our lives. As it grew dark, the fire dancers entertained the crowd with the beauty of light, music and coming together to celebrate life.
We’d like to thank Janet Ross for the photos she shared and give a big thank you to party donors: Clancys, Gardner-Follins, Park-Bellusos, Monson-Petrens, and Martinez-Diers.
